Help Andrew replace the transmission and return to work
Andrew's my ride-share car is Andrew's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $1,100.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom2,270 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $560
• Labor charges: $230
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $210
• Towing and inspection: $100
With deep gratitude,
Andrew

Sending strength, Andrew. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 15 people at work. All the best.
Keep going, Andrew. Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Brampton.
